pse is a pymol session file which includes all the information that you see
in your python window, like hidden residues, selections, distance
measurements, coloring, surfaces, cartoons, alignments, etc. PDB is the
protein data bank file format which is usually simply the XYZ coordinates
and B-factors of each atom in your molecule, perhaps with meta information
from the experiment that generated it. In other words, pse will save your
work, but pdb will just save your molecule.
